Last updated
Live Stickers lift photo subjects into the Messages stickers drawer with bounce and outline effects. Creation starts from Photos subjects or the sticker plus menu. Storage rides app data and iCloud.
There is no Files folder of stickers to copy. The drawer is the library. Deleting from the drawer removes the sticker after sync. Save keepers to the sticker set explicitly.
Where iOS stores this, by platform
Messages > Stickers > Live Stickers
Create and manage stickers from the drawer in any thread. Effects apply per sticker. iCloud Messages sync carries the set between devices.
